Don't speak to soon. I'm still a little weary. Hitchcock is a good coach but we've all seen the CBJ go on a wining streak of a few games in the past and look really good just to go back to the old ways. I have faith they'll be better but I'm not holding my breath this soon. I think Hitch still has some work to do with the guys before I start hoping for a playoff spot.

I thought they looked great last night. A little sluggish in the 2nd, but it has been a long time since I have seen them control the play in the other teams zone so much, and the defense was outstanding.
I never thought I would be saying this, but watching the game last night 2 things stuck out to me about the team and Nash. For one, he looked to be just about the slowest guy on the ice last night, not sure what his health situation is, but he seemed quite slow last night. Second, I seem to remember a quote from Hitch at the very beginning talking of getting away from the dump in along the boards and moving the puck into the zone passing. Last night the entire team was really making this work (with good results) except Nash. Nearly every time he approached the blue line instead of looking for someone, he shot it in around the boards and tried to beat one or two guys to the puck in the corner. After reading all the things he has said about buying in to what Hitch is doing I sure hope he is not the one guy who does not. I am by no means a Hockey expert, but I sure hope I am just imagining this, or am completely off base.
J.O. I know you are Rick, so I am sorry to call you out on here.

i think some of it has to do with the air in denver on the dumping the puck. hitch mentioned how a lot of teams get smoked in the second due to the elevation.
i liked how the game plane seemed to change as the lead built. hitch choked the game down and took away the scoring chances.
bk shouldnt you be jumping ship now in advance of the loss?
